A big part of this project is exchanging personal stories, when your pledge $15, your story will be shared during the process! (When you pledge $500 or more, your story will be incorporated in the final result of the project!)
Update #6: City of Chicago! Let Art resides instead of Advertising!
In search of public venue for “Map of the Heart, Chicago”! This place would be a perfect spot for the interactive installation portion of the project interfaced through touch-screen, right in the heart of downtown where both the Chicagoans and tourists come across! I envision the installation to be here for a month or two in conjunction to several public performances with wearable structures roaming through the space to Thompson Center and Daley Plaza!
I started contacting people in City of Chicago!! Wish me a good luck! Also if you know different routes to obtain this gigantic touch-screen for a month or so, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Update #5: New participants arrangement!
On Wednesday 12/14/11, I will be following Roxy Trudeau, MSW, Outreach & Education Director, Chicago Women's Health Center!
She is 12th participants of Map of the Heart, Chicago! I've never met her, I've contacted her through email, recognizing the importance of her work and the works of the organization. Very exciting to follow her to Chicago Women's Health Center!

Words from the artist: I'm an artist working in various media includes text, public performance, multi-media installation, and interactive installation. I believe that one of the most important contemporary artists’ roles in this globalized and technology oriented society is to facilitate collective creative potentials, shared visions as well as stimulating the imagination beyond the limits of fixed identities of the public. My work initiates conversations and activates a social space in a public forum through subtle but intentionally selective encounters arts can provide.
